You are always the first line of defense in any situation so it is your responsibility to be prepared. Have a fire extinguisher & keep it up to date, a tool kit, sleeping bag & alcohol can stove or pocket warmer and extra lighter fluid (or alcohol) and emergency food and water.

Do it today, just do it... "
